McShay's take: The Jets have one of the most depleted rosters in the NFL right now, but they're not going to find an answer to their quarterback problem in this scenario. That means finding a competent right tackle, a young pass-rusher (Calvin Pace likely to be cut) are at the top of the priority list. Jones would fit the bill as a pass-rusher. He's versatile, closes quickly and looks to jar the ball loose when he gets to quarterbacks or ball carriers.

Kiper's take: Yes, they really need skill position upgrades, with wide receiver, tight end and running back all areas of need. But the value is an issue, so if the Jets don't trade down, they're better served going with the best player available at another position of need. I'm a big fan of the interior, with Muhammad Wilkerson and Quinton Coples in place, but the Jets could really use an edge rusher. Jordan is light, but he has long arms, great athleticism and I think can be a guy they don't need to shuttle in and out depending on downs and matchups. He has star potential, and the pass rush gets some help.

mocking the draft isn't what you would do. It's about what the Jets would do. And let's be real the Jets never fail any1. Drob and Vilma had issues, didn't stop the Jets. So regardless of what you personally would do, these Jets doctors aren't failing Jarvis Jones. They never fail anyone.

The point you're making isn't that McNeil wasn't talented. 2 probowls is legit. The point is he was drafted the same year as Ferguson, and is now out of football, whereas D'Brick should continue to enjoy a lengthy career.

Another point to consider, McNeil played a position that limited the distance between collisions, whereas Jarvis Jones should be administering them on a regular basis.

Begging the question, do we want a high rish/highreward player with our first pick? or does our new GM play it safe?

To be fair, didn't Vilma and DRob have the same issue? Bone on bone condition in the knee? Back in the day the Jets failed a bunch of guys including Munoz. Their recent leniency may have been an overreaction to that.

I would like to see the team trade down, and still draft him.

Some fair point. Except even if the JETS trade down I would not want them to draft this guy in the 1st round with that lower pick. Its a very risky proposition!

But if he fell to the 3rd round....but that's may not happen.

I see someone like the 49ers or Seahwaks who are on the cusp on winning it all, going out and taking a risk on this guy.

by the way Kiper has Cooper going before Warmack in this mock. Just sayin...

Kiper does a lot of things that I think are goofy.

That would be one of them.

Actually I hate to pick any guard at 9, but the Jets can't blow this pick. Warmack won't be a bust. In all honesty there are a few potential good pass rushers in this draft. i'm a bit scared of all of them for different reasons. Pass rushers are an odd lot
